I might have said before that this artist asked to remain anonymous because he was afraid of his brand being associated with adult content. I don't blame him, silly though it might feel. So a locked down Sophie and a big three-way brawl is our last art from this formative work. You might recognize the Sophie close up being used several other places because it's so perfect to Relic but now you get the NSFW version!
There's a really heartwarming story to this as well. I felt bad at first that this artist, and a couple others, couldn't work with Relic because of the theme. What that did, though is it got me the chance to work with artists who were more motivated and wanted to work with the project, as well as wanted to be seen. It turns out that social media response has been much stronger to that than these supposedly big name works of art. While this unnamed artist enjoyed working with me and Relic, the lack of bravery interfered. We're not just here for the love, we're here for the bravery too!
We'll see about getting back to the comics next week!
